How do I change an encoded tracking code back to an affiliate id?
ie -
on a URL like http://www.ravenriley.com/tour1/?nats=NjM6Mzox

Changing the NjM6Mzox

to 'quantumx' and pulling out the other data.

it's base 64? neat.

quantum-x · 09-29-2005, 08:27 PM

hmm.. that only takes it back to an ID (ie 634:3:1) and that ID does not directly correspond to the correct affilate id

I'm waiting for "NATS for Dummies" to come out. I'll be first in line.

Quantum-x, that is the campaignid (which is linked to your affiliate id), siteid, and programid (all needed for the code to function).

You should ask the program you are promoting to provide their affiliates with unencrypted link codes (something all NATS programs can do if they choose to do so) which will allow you to link with your affiliate login name and site/program id unencoded.

When you goto the linking codes page, choose your Campaign, then the program..

Directly above the linking codes in the menu it says the text below. Click Switch and it will pull up the unencoded codes.

Your Link Codes - Mode: Encoded [Switch]

every nats sponsor should offer unencoded links.

If anyone else is interested, I did this to solve my problems.
Perhaps it'll help you, too.

PHP Code:


			
function getAffiliate($_NATS) {

    list($campaignID) = explode(":", base64_decode($_NATS));



    open_db();

    $sql = "SELECT `a`.`username` FROM `accounts` as `a`,`campaigns` as `c` WHERE `a`.`loginid` = `c`.`loginid` AND `c`.`campaignid` = '$campaignID'";

    $result = mysql_query($sql);

    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

    close_db();



    return $row['username'];

}
